I miss Luggage Lad

No, I remember old pictures of him before Yea Forums where people commenting called him richard or something. If I were him I'd give Yea Forums a fake name too.

working for google, one of the biggest opponents of internet anonymity, is about as low as you can get. hope his kidneys fail and he dies painfully

I never watched his TEDtalk before
ted.com/talks/christopher_m00t_poole_the_case_for_anonymity_online#t-214447

Well according to that he has three

we should have a nightly /moot/ thread. I miss him.

admit it there was something special about him

He did a good job managing this site desu

Richard and Linda
two birds with one stone

>Yea Forums is the beating heart of the website
God damn I feel so old.

This only validates the coworker claim that google had no idea what to do with him. He was brought on as a community expert for creating the memery that is Yea Forums but all his projects and shit outside copying Japanese failed miserably. Last we heard he was being shuffled around google not really knowing where to place him. I guess japan was the drawer they finally shelved him. Still love you moot even if you were a traitor who let poltards bully you.

This makes sense. Google has the money to suck up any potential talent and they thought that the guy who made Yea Forums would be useful to have around, they just don't know how.

Also I believe they wanted his work on Canvas for tracking anonymous user data.

is that you, Snacks?

>Canvas
I forgot that was a thing he did.

canv.as? More like canv.ASS amirite?

he better not have betrayed us. he wouldnt dare do such a thing.... right bros?

if you think google doesn't build profiles of every poster on this site then you're very naive

moot was just in the right place in the right time. eventually his inability to handle the responsibilities he had been dealt was exposed.

the more moot intervened with Yea Forums, the worse it got, and the more people hated him. he was also completely unable to control the content of the website, no matter how much he tried.

im sure he has some interesting or useful things to say, but he was hardly an innovator, and every single thing he's tried to do after Yea Forums has been a complete non-factor.

Yea Forums will be the only thing he ever 'did' of note, and what he originally 'did' was create a relatively unruled place where people could say or do pretty much whatever they wanted.

people liked moot, but mostly for reasons that moot didn't intent. chris poole is a complete autist in real life, and posters could relate to his complete incompetence.

its weird that he developed such a huge ego, and confused the success of Yea Forums with him being some kind of tech 'guru'. in his last year tried to regulate everything with his new-found smug sense of 'wisdom', completely fucking up things like gamergate. and it is that 'wisdom' that he offers to google and other companies.

companies that despite being full of 20 somethings, are still somehow massively out of touch with reality, and just eat up the shit he says.

hes like joel hodgson. he created something bigger than himself. will spend the next 20 years trying to 'run' from it. only to try to run back to it decades later, completely misunderstanding, the whole way through, what it really was, and will make some lame cash grab attempt based on it.

Have you ever heard this song?
youtube.com/watch?v=s36eQwgPNSE
Sure you have. It was one of the biggest singles ever, anytime.
The guy who wrote it and recorded it did basically nothing else.
One huge hit, one huge accomplishment and that's all for his whole life.
That's one huge hit, one huge accomplishment more than I've ever had, or that you've ever had. moot -- same thing.

gamergate was retarded though. he should've banned them on Yea Forums and deleted /pol/. we could've enjoyed them being contained on their "superior" cripplechan that was supposed to kill Yea Forums lmao yet they come crawling back here anyway.

hate moot

By giving it attention he made it grow bigger. One of the reasons it blew up was to spite moot

Gamergate is the most fucking retarded non-event in human history. I can't imagine being so infantile that you felt the need to participate in it. Every single person on either side should have been euthanized.

Just checked my linkedin and I have 24 skills and something like 100 endorsements. How does moot have less?

moot sat on his ass and spent his time on Yea Forums.

The first thing he did was fire all the good mods and invite redditor ones that agreed with him.
He was super pissed because the traffic was enormous while he was in debt paying his ass out for bandwidth and just got cucked by his gf.

At least he is making at least 150k a year over at google now.

He tried to which created a Streisand effect.

>delete /pol/

There has never been a single sane or reasonable person who has ever spouted this line. That's going back to the days of /q/.

/news/ was superior and less retarded. ron paul

lmao that's just the cope NPCs kept repeating to themselves. now they're irrelevant punching bags

lol

It was /new/, you newfag.

>team of over 100 volunteers
See that jannies? There's the extent of your recognition

>Columbia University in the City of New York
More like Columbia College (Missouri)

I can't be assed to remember everything from the past 15 years you election newfag. I'm not going to type perfectly either when my post is just gonna get deleted in an hour.you get the point.

I just can't imagine moot possibly browsing, much less actually liking any other forum or community after investing years of his life managing this. I want to believe that he's still the same and like the rest of us in that no matter how successful he is or where he finds himself, he's still "different" inside drawn to anonymous strangers on the internet to share feels and laughs without reputational drama.

But perhaps the taste in his mouth was so sour upon departure that he made a vow to never come back. Who knows now. I just want to talk to him again.

>leaves the the site to conman gook that doesn't care about it because he was butthurt about being called a cuck

canv.as was great desu, I had a lot of fun there.

But moot said Yea Forums paid for itself right before he left

paid for itself if it had a way to generate income which there was none.

Who's the moron at Google that hired moot? All the guy did was make a 2chan clone for Americans when he was a teenager. Any of his "improvements" from the standard imageboard structure have just made the site worse.

This is the real moot

probably some 50 yo boomer who thought he was some subculture newtype internet genius and didn't read the fine print

He did help out at Imgur, a site praised for its community features.
It's not his fault jewgle is trying to force google+

Not trying to be a contrarian, but imgur is essentially the sewer system of reddit. And google is currently phasing out G+

So what? People still go to imgur because of it

What if google decides to make their own imageboard?

I'm glad moot is not only free of this hell hole but living the dream in Japan like the weeb he is

We can all make it bros

You stay far away, because that is certainly some form of alphabet agency/technocratic breakaway society/roko's basilisk honeypot.

The only reason Yea Forums lasted as long as it did was because he stuck to his pri ciples and also didn't cash out until we basically ruined his life over the fappening shit

There's a lot to respect in Christopher Poole

i dont

The fappening wasn't a big deal. Should have ignored those dumb thots.

He's probably fucking some prime (16-18) japanese girls on the regular now we we're stuck here for eternity. Fuck him.

moot is a filthy jew.

Since he's in Japan he's probably in regular contact with Hiro. It would be funny if he was a shadow administrator now.

I doubt it. He moved on user. We should accept it.

4 years now and he still hasn't come back to grace us with his ##Founder tag. He's long gone. Probably doesn't even think about us anymore, much less interact in any way.

he's probably ashamed to take any visible role and that's understandably so. in his last audio stream he thought about posting as another user permanently

>newfag acts like mods haven't always done this
Mods change. Sentiments change across the site. The future is now, and it sucks. Deal with it. Whether you want to or not.
